Mohikaneren Chingachgook, sønnen Uncas og den hvide spejder Falkeøje gør sammen med deres hvide engelske venner et forsøg på at befri to kvinder, som er bortført af den fjendtlige indianerstamme, irokeserne

‘Pionererne’ er kronologisk set fjerde kapitel i James Fenimore Coopers verdensberømte romankreds på i alt fem bind med Natty Bumppo som gennemgående figur, men udkom som den første roman i kredsen i 1923 – tre år før ‘Den sidste Mohikaner’.Denne udgave er den første uforkortede på dansk.Vi skriver 1793, og Hjortedræber, Natty Bumppo, helten fra ‘Den sidste mohikaner’, er ved at være en gammel mand. Den indiansk opdragede europæer, der i de østlige skoves vildnis bliver jægeren, spejderen og eneren, som aldrig for alvor kunne finde sig til rette hverken hos de hvide eller hos indianerne, må opleve, at hans elskede skove bliver fældet, jorden lagt under plov og de uendelige ødemarker forvandlet til privat ejendom.Natty kæmper forgæves mod denne udvikling sammen med sin indianske følgesvend Chingachgook, der ligesom han selv er blevet gammel og nu lever med en tærende længsel efter sit forsvundne folk. Hjortedræbers kamp for at forsvare sin hårdt tilkæmpede frihed er et enestående amerikansk drama, og romanen om hans kamp giver et skærende og præcist portræt af et samfund i uafvendelig forandring."Cooperstown i Coopers romaner og Cooperstown uden for romanerne begyndte allerede på Coopers tid at smelte sammen, byen var og er et lille kunstigt paradis, præget af forfatterens drømmebillede af USA som en forsoning mellem vildmarkens USA og det civiliserede USA. Cooper endte med at blive fascineret af de store kulturlandskaber i Europa (...). Han mente, at han dér havde fundet landskaber, der også kunne bruges i USA. På baggrund af denne dobbelthed af politisk engagement og æstetisk drømmebillede er Coopers romaner altid både realistiske romaner og alligevel modernistiske, fordi hans enorme sans for landskabsdetaljer, i mindre grad mennesker, hele tiden lader læseren fornemme, at han skriver nøjagtigt, fordi han føler, at virkeligheden fortoner sig til en skyggeverden, til katastrofe og undergang for USA, hvis ikke det lykkes for ham, James Fenimore Cooper med sine romaner at sende meddelelser per flaskepost ud fra Susquehannas kilder med en sidste advarsel til New York, særinteressernes hovedstad, og til hele den amerikanske nation, mens tid er."Henning Goldbæk, Information

One of the most popular novels of early American literature, "The Last of the Mohicans" helped to establish James Fenimore Cooper as one of the first great and world-famous American authors. The second and best known novel in the "Leatherstocking Tales" series, "The Last of the Mohicans" is set in the British province of New York during the French and Indian War. It concerns the rescue and transport to safety, of two sisters, Alice and Cora, daughters of British commander Colonel Munro, who are kidnapped following a Huron massacre of Anglo-American soldiers. They are escorted by frontiersman Natty Bumppo, Major Duncan Heyward, and the Indians Chingachgook and Uncas, the titular sole surviving member of the Mohican tribe. A fantastic tale of adventure set during the middle of the 18th century, "The Last of the Mohicans" is a true American classic, which has captivated readers ever since its original publication. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

From its remarkable first scene--in which a gunshot finds an unintended target--to its fiery climax in the woods of New York State, "The Pioneers" is a rich chronicle of early frontier life filled with action, adventure, romance, and history. It is also the work that established James Fenimore Cooper as the first great American novelist. The first installment if what would later become the famous Leatherstocking Tales, "The Pioneers" introduces readers to the colorful and enduring character of frontiersman Natty Bumppo. Forced by a local landowner to obey new hunting laws, Natty Bumppo rebels and finds allies in the landowner's daughter and a mysterious young stranger. Against the backdrop of the changing seasons, a varied cast of unforgettable characters is caught up in a drama that illuminates the essence of the American character and the conflict between a restlessly expanding society and the unspoiled wilderness that was here before us all.

The deadly crack of a long rifle and the piercing cries of Indians on the warpath shatter the serenity of beautiful lake Glimmerglass. Danger has invaded the vast forests of upper New York State as Deerslayer and his loyal Mohican friend Chingachgook attempt the daring rescue of an Indian maiden imprisoned in a Huron camp. Soon they are caught in the crossfire between a cunning enemy and two white bounty hunters who mercilessly kill for profit. The last of the Leatherstocking tales to be written, though first in the chronology of the hero's life, "The Deerslayer" is James Fenimore Cooper's masterpiece. A fine combination of romance, adventure, and morality; this classic novel of the frontier is an eloquent beginning for Cooper's great wilderness saga--and an unforgettable introduction to the famous character who has said to embody the conscience of America: the noble woodsman Deerslayer.
